Placement Of Nano Wavebox

[REEFKING13]

HELLO JUST GET A NANO WAVEBOX WANTED TO KNOW WHERE I SHOULD PUT IT IN THE TANK ? THE TANK IS A 120 AGA WITH TWO OVERFLOW
1- IN THE BACK OF THE TANK IN THE CONER
2- IN THE MIDDLE OF BOTH OVERFLOWS IN THE BACK OF THE TANK
3- OR IN THE SIDE OF THE TANK SO IT SHOOTS THE WAVE ACROSS THE TANK.

 

[rvitko]

It can go in either back corner facing the front. It must be in a corner, it cannot be in the middle of the tank.

 

[REEFKING13]

CAN IT BE IN A CORNER FACING THE LENGTH OF THE TANK ON ONE SIDE?

That would be ideal.

 

[rvitko]

Yes.

 

[REEFKING13]

I SHOULD GET A BETTER WAVE IF I PUT IN ON THE SIDE FACING THE LENGTH OF THE TANK OR ITS GOING TO BE THE SAME IN THE CORNER BACK OF THE TANK?

 

[rvitko]

The wave would be the biggest with it placed on one side aimed down the length with a clear shot down the entire length.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HELP ROGER

Where is the best location for a nana wavebox ?

A, B or C ??

 

[shawnz28]

A or B would likely be best

 

[MarcoPolo]

conceptually - shouldn't the best spot be "C" - aimining to the overflow to maximise water exchange with the sump?

A or B is the best ?
Now I mount on A , but very hard to set a good wave.

What is the best way to tune the wave ?

 

[shawnz28]

A or B would be best as it would theoretically have the most open shot across the farthest most open part of the tank which is whats important. Obstructions will end up buffering the wave thus dilluting the boxes effectiveness

As for tuning I could asume it to be the same as the full size box. Set the pump power to 100% or highest voltage then set the dial for frequency to the fastest pulse. Over time slowly make tiny changes to the pulse rate increasing them small amounts at a time. When I say tiny I mean if you can see the dial move it could be too far at once. Wait 20-30 seconds after each move. You can pass the sweet spot easy but with tiny moves you should "see it coming"

Thanks for you advise ~~

And the SeaSwirl will affect the wave tuning ?

 

[shawnz28]

Should not really effect the wave much but could shut it off while tuning as it might be a bit easier to do
